[Verse 1]

 A                                           E 

There I was with the old man, stranded again, so off I ran

   Asus2                                               E                                         C#7 

 A young world crashing around me; no possibilities of getting what I need

     F#m                                B 

He looked at me and smiled, 

       Bsus4  B           Bsus2  B7sus2    D     E 

said No,      no,  no,  no,          no,  no child

[Chorus]


                         Asus2                                Amaj9 

        See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly

            G(no3rd)                   Dsus2         Asus2                   Amaj9 

        Dog and butterfly,                    Below she had to try

                          F#m                           C#m 

        She roll         back down to the warm, soft ground,

                    F#m                                 B 

        Laughing, She don't know why

                                            Dsus2                           Amaj9       Asus2 

        She don't know why,         Dog and Butterfly
[Verse 2]
           A                                               E 

Well I stumbled upon your secret place, Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face

 Asus2                                 E                                         C#7 

Wrestling with your desires; frozen stangers stealing your fires

       F#m                                B 

The message hit my mind, 

        Bsus4  B      Bsus2  B7sus2    D     E 

Only words that   I              could    find
[Chorus]

                         Asus2                                Amaj9 

        See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly

            G(no3rd)                   Dsus2         Asus2                   Amaj9 

        Dog and butterfly,                    Below she had to try

                          F#m                           C#m 

        She roll         back down to the warm, soft ground,

                    F#m                  B 

        Laughing, to the sky

                                   Dsus2                           Amaj9       Asus2 

        Up to the sky,             Dog and Butterfly

[Bridge]
 C#m                           F#m        Dsus2             A 

        We're getting older,     The world getting colder

            D                C(no 3rd)        G(no 3rd)  A 

For the life of me, I don't know the reason why

 C#m            E(no 3rd)  Dsus2       A 

   Maybe it's living,        making us give in

    D                 C(no 3rd)   G(no 3rd)   A 

Heart rolling in, taken back on the tide

          D                          C(no 3rd)   G(no 3rd)   A 

We're balanced together; ocean     upon the sky

 Csus2                    E7  E7sus4  E7 
[Verse 3]

   A                                               E 

Another night in this stange town, Moonlight holding me light as down

 Asus2                                        E                                           C#7 

Voice of confusion inside of me, begging to go back where I'm free

 F#m                            B 

Feels like I'm through, 

              Bsus4  B      Bsus2  B7sus2    D     E 

Then the old      man's words      are      true
[Chorus]
                         Asus2                                Amaj9 

        See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly

            G(no3rd)                   Dsus2         Asus2                   Amaj9 

        Dog and butterfly,                    Below she had to try

                          F#m                           C#m 

        She roll         back down to the warm, soft ground,

                         F#m                    B 

        With a little tear in her eye

                                                         Dsus2                               Asus2 

        She had to try, She had to try,             Dog and Butterfly
[Outro]

(chorus chords)

        Up in the air he like to fly

        Dog and butterfly, Below she has to try

        She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,

        Laughing, she don't know why, 

        She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
